Chapter 229: Chapter 113 - The 4th Dragon Knight_2

Zisang Liuying shook his head, saying, "No, you guys have different traits. If you don’t speak, I can’t tell the difference. I can differentiate you by your tone of speech."

Long Kongkong smirked, "I was just kidding earlier, and you took it seriously."

Zisang Liuying twitched his lips and changed the subject, "Did you guys go to get your mounts? Did you already succeed? That was fast."

Long Kongkong looked at her, "It seems that we are opponents in the demon hunting team selection contest. Should I tell you what my mount is?"

Zisang Liuying stared at him, "You? Don’t flatter yourself! Even your brother probably isn’t my match."

Felling despised, Long Kongkong felt a bit resentful. He was not in a good mood, "Even a wild lily has spring, someday you’ll know my power. Humph! I’m leaving." With that, he turned and walked away.

"Hey, wait a minute." Zisang Liuying subconsciously reached out to grab him. Although Long Kongkong was the weakest in Knights Class One, he was a trained knight, with physical prowess that a mage couldn’t match. When Zisang Liuying tried to pull him, he unexpectedly stumbled forward.

Long Kongkong quickly turned back to see the girl tumble into his arms.

"What are you doing?" He quickly raised his hands, grabbing Zisang Liuying by the shoulders, keeping her half a foot away without truly pulling her into his arms.

Zisang Liuying staggered and promptly stabilized her footing, "What’s the rush?"

Long Kongkong quickly let go of her shoulders and backed away, unequivocally stating, "I’m already taken. I’ve got a goddess, don’t have improper thoughts about me."

"You...what are you talking about?" Zisang Liuying flushed in embarrassment, "I wanted to ask you something, who... who’s having improper thoughts about you... just go!"

Long Kongkong didn’t deem it fit to humour her. He turned and left for real this time.

Zisang Liuying watched his retreating back. She couldn’t help but angrily stomp her foot on the ground. But the next moment, she suddenly paused, What did he just say? That he’s taken? Who could it be? Someone at the Academy?

Their brothers are Menglu’s cousins; surely it couldn’t be Menglu? Then who was it? Cai Cai? Or someone else?

While Long Kongkong returned to his dormitory, Long Dangdang followed Yan Yao to the Knights Temple’s Main Hall.

The Main Hall of the Knights Temple is part of the Temple Headquarters, yet a separate set of buildings. The majestic architectural style gives a strong oppressive sense of grandeur.

Yan Yao led him straight to the Sacred Legate, where the higher-ups of the Knights Temple held meetings. It is the most important core area for the Knights Temple, beneath the Sacred Legate.

As a reserve Sacred Legate and a peak 7th Rank professionist, who had obtained the recognition of the mithril cathedra armor, she could be considered middle-to-high-ranking within the Knights Temple.

"Sacred Templar Yan Yao, has important matters to report to Lord Paladin Commander. Please pass on the message." She said to the protector knight standing guard outside the temple.

"Yes, please wait a moment." The protector knight touched his right fist to his chest, saluting her in the knights’ manner, and promptly went on his way.

After a short while, Yan Yao and Long Dangdang were invited in.

This was Long Dangdang’s first visit to the Paladin’s Hall. As he walked into the main hall, an intangible sense of majesty instantly radiated from all sides. Long Dangdang immediately felt as if the spiritual power within his body began to boil. It was a very strange sensation, making him feel as if he was surrounded by an invisible force. This force was intensely shocking, and it seemed as if the Ten Commandments of the Knights echoed in his ears.

He subconsciously looked to both sides and saw numerous lifelike statues. All of them were dressed in knight armor, and some even had their own mount companions beside them. Each had a distinct form, extending from the entrance all the way inside, with at least a thousand statues present here.

As he walked in, there were seats placed on both sides, 108 in total. Long Dangdang vaguely guessed that these must belong to the thirty-six Adamantine Cathedra knights and seventy-two Mithril Cathedra knights. Only they were the real leaders of the Temple Knights.

At the very heart, there was a nine-level staircase. Above it, six dazzling seats were placed in parallel. Among them was a figure seated in the central seat – a statue.

The figure was a young man dressed in splendid armor, extremely handsome, with a gentle and warm gaze. Just sitting atop that massive throne, he exuded a divine aura that made one want to worship him.

The six seats naturally belong to the statues of the 6 Great God’s Seal Cathedras Rex. The person-shaped statue in the middle was the leader of the 6 Great God’s Seal Cathedras Rex, Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex. Meanwhile, that statue represented the first president of the Temple Federation, who not only led humans to defeat the 72-Pillars Demon God but also rescued mankind from peril.

Yan Yao led Long Dangdang to a stop about twenty steps away from the staircase. She put her right fist over her chest and then slightly bowed, showing respect to the six cathedra rex, especially towards the statue.

Long Dangdang quickly followed her example and performed the knight’s salute.

To that legendary figure, knights from the Knights Temple, professionists, or even ordinary citizens, all held the utmost respect. It was he who rescued humans from calamity and defeated the mightiest Demon God Emperor, leading mankind to live in peace for the past ten thousand years.

Although the Temple Federation also had its issues, the systems established back in the day had managed to maintain stability for ten thousand years, which showed foresight.

Just then, a figure strode down the corridor to the left of the staircase.

This man was an elder, donned in a knight’s uniform striped with silver, blue, and red. Two golden six-pointed stars were pinned to his broad shoulders. He was a tall, middle-aged man who seemed to be in his fifties. His broad shoulders, his imposing posture, and his piercing eyes radiated an overwhelming presence.

"What’s the matter, Yan Yao?" As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously fell on Long Dangdang, instantly brightening.

"Lord Paladin Commander." Yan Yao immediately stood at attention and saluted. Long Dangdang followed suit.

The Paladin Commander returned the salute.

"You came to see me, is it related to this young man?" The Paladin Commander’s gaze fell on Long Dangdang. The seriousness in his eyes had lessened somewhat, replaced by a warmth.

"Yes. Lord Paladin Commander, this is my student, Long Dangdang from Knights Class One at Spirit Furnace Academy. He just returned from Knights’ Holy Mountain."

The Paladin Commander nodded slightly to Long Dangdang, and then placed his right fist on his chest, greeting him with a knight’s salute. "Hello, I’m Nan Yu, the Paladin Commander of the Knights Temple. I’ve heard of you." As he spoke, he even winked at Long Dangdang.

Long Dangdang was startled but quickly realized that this man must know of his status as a reserve Sacred Legate of the Knights Temple. This man was a true upper echelon leader in the Knights Temple. He just didn’t know if this man was one of the current six Sacred Legates.

He quickly returned the salute, respectfully saying: "Long Dangdang pays his respects to Lord Paladin Commander."

Nan Yu looked at him then at Yan Yao, smiling, "Let me guess. You just came back from the Knights’ Holy Mountain, and Yan Yao brought you to see me urgently. It seems that the spoils of your journey must be significant! Tell me, what mount did you obtain? Do we have another dragon knight?"

Yan Yao looked at him in surprise, "You already knew?"
